Close season refurb for Stoke City FC

16 MAY, 2016

The Premier League football stars at Stoke City will enjoy upgraded facilities in the 2016/17 season following a range of close season improvements which we'll be carrying out.

The club’s training complex at Clayton Wood has been the subject of a multi-million pound redevelopment project in recent months and we've been called in to deliver a number of new and upgraded facilities.

The scope of the project includes the creation a new ground maintenance workshop to improve the facilities available to ground staff, and the Clayton Wood complex itself will receive a brand new gate house giving enhanced security at the complex.

With a new season approaching, few areas of the training ground are more important than the treatment room where Stoke’s superstars receive vital medical attention, and we'll be building an extension so that club doctors can work more comfortably and efficiently.

The team will also construct and erect a new TV gantry so that the club’s training sessions, academy matches and behind-closed-doors fixtures can be filmed, and all the work at the training ground must be completed to the club’s extremely high standards.

Adam Williams, construction manager at Novus Property Solutions, said: “Stoke City’s training facilities are state-of-the-art and between May and July we will be working very hard to make them even better.

“The existing facility includes features such as zinc cladding and offset column designs, and we’ll ensure the new elements are entirely in keeping with the aesthetic and functional qualities that the club expects.”

Richard Smith, managing director of Stoke City Property, said: "As a club we are constantly looking at ways we can provide our players and staff, both at first team level and in the academy, with the best possible environment in which to work.

"The latest phase of redevelopment work represents another hugely significant investment in terms of the cost but it's necessary to continue to move the club forward."

NOVUS PARTNERS WITH FORTIOR HOMES ON £14M CONTRACT

We have been chosen to deliver a major housing project in Stoke-on-Trent in a deal worth around £14million.
Our Stoke-on-Trent team will be building 85 apartments and 43 houses in partnership with Fortior Homes, the housing company owned by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, on Lichfield Street, Hanley.
Work on the site will begin in December with completion set for September 2020. The development will consist of a range of two and three-bedroom houses and one and two-bedroom apartments.
Novus were appointed to the contract following a competitive tendering process.
Dean Povey, Operations Manager at Novus, said: “As a national contractor that calls Stoke its home, we can’t wait to get started on this exciting project.
“The development will provide quality homes for private rent and market sale [DA(1] for the city’s people a stone’s throw from Stoke-on-Trent’s shopping, nightlife and business centre.
“As the first project we’ve worked on with Fortior Homes we’re looking forward to building a lasting relationship.”
Councillor Randy Conteh, the city council’s cabinet member for housing, communities and safer city, said: “We are committed to providing quality housing for our residents at all stages of life – and to ensuring that different types of accommodation are available to meet everyone’s needs. By providing new-build homes in this location we will be making sure we don’t lose people to other areas who want to live in this kind of accommodation, but are struggling to find somewhere suitable.
“There has been a significant amount of investment in the city centre and the infrastructure to support businesses. This is a way of continuing that support by providing the homes for those attracted to the city by the new business environment in a spot readily accessible from the centre.
“It is also fantastic news that a local company, Novus, has successfully won the contract for this development. Helping local businesses to grow means more jobs and opportunities for local people. It raises people’s quality of life, and it supports our economy.”
Councillor Ann James, leader of the city council and a board member of Fortior Homes, said: “The development of this site will allow us to deliver on our objective for significant investment in new housing.
“We aim to provide high quality homes within Stoke-on-Trent, and the Lichfield Street site presents an exciting opportunity for the delivery of a new and aspirational private rental and market sale offer in a key location.”
